I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. **Independent** The charity’s gross income does not exceed £250,000 and I am qualified to **examiner's statement** undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Association of Accounting Technicians _._ I have completed my examination. Apart from consistent accountability, I confirm that the only matters that have come to my attention are as that disclosed below, in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: I have no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **Signed: Date:** 30[th] March 2022 **Name:** Janet Johnson – Educational Finance Solutions Ltd MAAT **Relevant professional qualification(s) or body (if any): Address:** 31 Hamilton Crescent Palmers Green, London, N13 5LN **October 2018** 1 **IER** ## **Section B Disclosure** Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners). **Give here details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose** . Still with the end of the Covid restrictions and ensuring the information below to enable consistency as mentioned below. The advice to the charity is to create some consistency in the accounting and book—keeping administration. The basics will be in invoicing keeping on a weekly or monthly basis. Regular cash reconciliation for money transfer. As the building project is ongoing for the foreseeable future, tighter regulation is needed to track all monies. There will need to be some look at checking with the charity for the long-term vision for the building project and how that will be accounted for in the financial statements going forward. **October 2018** 2 **IER**
